== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AIDB_ECOLI AIDB_ECOLI] Part of the adaptive DNA-repair response to alkylating agents. Could prevent alkylation damage by protecting DNA and destroying alkylating agents that have yet to reach their DNA target. Binds to double-stranded DNA with a preference for a DNA region that includes its own promoter. Shows weak isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity in vitro.<ref>PMID:7961409</ref> <ref>PMID:16352838</ref> <ref>PMID:18829440</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The process known as "adaptive response" allows Escherichia coli to respond to small doses of DNA-methylating agents by upregulating the expression of four proteins. While the role of three of these proteins in mitigating DNA damage is well understood, the function of AidB is less clear. Although AidB is a flavoprotein, no catalytic role has been established for the bound cofactor. Here we investigate the possibility that flavin plays a structural role in the assembly of the AidB tetramer. We report the generation and biophysical characterization of deflavinated AidB and of an AidB mutant that has greatly reduced affinity for flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Using fluorescence quenching and analytical ultracentrifugation, we find that apo AidB has a high affinity for FAD, as indicated by an apparent dissociation constant of 402.1 +/- 35.1 nM, and that binding of substoichiometric amounts of FAD triggers a transition in the AidB oligomeric state. In particular, deflavinated AidB is dimeric, whereas the addition of FAD yields a tetramer. We further investigate the dimerization and tetramerization interfaces of AidB by determining a 2.8 A resolution crystal structure in space group P3(2) that contains three intact tetramers in the asymmetric unit. Taken together, our findings provide strong evidence that FAD plays a structural role in the formation of tetrameric AidB.
